The Exploratorium will be on and poppin’ this week.

The art and science museum plans to have fun with a round of bubbly — as in the spheres — for After Dark: Let’s Have a Ball on Thursday, Jan. 7. From blowing up a bin of 3,000 pingpong balls to juggling with the Berkeley Juggling Club and learning about spherical viruses, visitors are invited to learn, laugh and play.

There will even be bubbly beverages like beer and sparkling wine to imbibe, all well within the night’s theme.

After Dark Thursday Nights are the Exploratorium’s weekly adults-only party. Each Thursday features different programs, but officials say the first Thursdays of the month are traditionally the biggest After Dark nights.
